MONOCHROMATIC ULTRA-VIOLET RADIATION AS AN ACTIVATING AGENT FOR THE EGGS OF ARBACIA PUNCTULATA

ALEXANDER HOLLAENDER 1

1 From the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods'Hole, Mass., and Washington Biophysical Institute

1. A method for the effective irradiation of Arbacia eggs with measured quantities of monochromatic ultra-violet radiation is described.

2. The activation (parthenogenesis) of Arbacia eggs by polychromatic and monochromatic radiation is demonstrated.

3. The energy requirements and wave-length dependence of activation have been worked out. The wave-lengths most effective are in the shorter ultra-violet.

4. The wave-length dependence of the activation curve of Arbacia is compared with the inactivation curves for urease and the virus of typical tobacco mosaic.
